MALACHITE Ham-Weeks Mine, Wakefield, NH 9.5 mm field of view	Species: MALACHITE Locality: Ham-Weeks Mine, Wakefield, NH Specimen Size: 9.5 mm field of view Field Collected: Tom Mortimer - 1982 Catalog No.: u560 Notes: I have had this labeled as torbernite for many years, but now believe this is malachite. Mindat.org lists malachite for Ham-Weeks (with photo) but not torbernite. Uraninite and some secondary uranium species are present at Ham-Weeks, but I could detect no radioactive response from this specimen with my sensitive scintillometer. No fluorescence was observed, although torbernite is not fluorescent, fluorescent autunite is often a close-by associate of torbernite. The resinous brown areas close to the malachite are likely altered chalcopyrite, also listed for Ham-Weeks.
